Class Note 2006

Issue

Sept - Oct 2016

Hello, awesome ’06s! As you read this summer will be slowly coming to a close and fall will be around the corner—which means that it’s time to think about Homecoming Weekend! I hope many of you will have the opportunity to visit the College during Homecoming on October 28-29 to see the school, visit old friends and heckle some 2020s. (Did that just make you feel old? That just made me feel old.) But first: the news!

First, we’ll hear from Amanda Prentice, who wrote in ages ago (sorry, Amanda!) to tell of a very literal run-in of ’06s in New York City…during the marathon. As she ran through the boroughs Amanda not only wound up being spotted (and urged on) by Katie Fahey, but she later spotted (and heckled) Max Young.

Amanda also wrote that while in Hanover for her dad’s class of ’72 reunion, she got some good ol’ cross-class gossip from Tony Papadopoulos’ dad (also a ’72) to share with DAM. Tony, she’s told, is living back home in Charleston, South Carolina, where he works for Boeing and is a married father of two.

Lots of classmates getting married! Patrick Lynch married Anna Langell in Pittsburgh in May, after he received his M.B.A. from Carnegie Mellon. Patrick adds, “Dartmouth was a more fun place to study!” (Duh.) Andrew Varnum will be getting married to Jodi Chan in September in Chestertown, Maryland.

Lots of babies to announce! Moli Luo and wife Michelle Borkin welcomed their first, daughter Anne, born March 15. The couple lives in Sherborn, Massachusetts. Michael Reiss and his wife, Elizabeth Right Reiss ’04, welcomed daughter Caroline on June 9. Jonathan Vaccaro and his wife recently welcomed their second child, daughter Delilah Rose, into their family in Alexandria, Virginia.

Matt Kelly and Kate (Huft) Kelly welcomed their first, son Michael, on May 20. They live in New York City, where Matt is an associate at Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and Kate works at private bank Brown Brother Harriman & Co. Kate shares that Michael is named after her father, Michael Huft ’72—no doubt the couple hope their Michael follows in the Dartmouth tradition!

Ryan McAnnally-Linz wrote in to share of his self-proclaimed “wild spring”: His second child, Gabriel Joseph, was born April 28; he received his Ph.D. in theology from Yale in May; and his first book, Public Faith in Action, was published on June 21. Additionally, Ryan wants it to be known that despite his sojourn at Yale, he still roots for Dartmouth hockey. Good man.

Finally, I’d be remiss not to share my own news (after begging all of you for yours). I’m getting married in December to a classmate from Stanford business school. Although not a son of Dartmouth (shame, shame) he got his first taste of the Upper Valley this summer and seemed to like it. Or at least he had the good sense to pretend!

Keep writing in your news and, until next time, to paraphrase the immortal words of Ron Burgundy: “You stay green, ’06s.”
